Axel Foley has found a home at CBS. Vulture reports that the network has won the rights to the new Beverly Hills Cop TV series, which is being produced by Eddie Murphy and Shawn Ryan (The Shield, Terriers, Last Resort). CBS has given a pilot production commitment to the potential series.

Vulture has a bit more detail on the project, saying it centers on the lead character, Aaron Foley, as he works “to "take down the criminal elements of the rich and famous, while simultaneously trying to escape the shadow of his larger than life father."

Yes, his dad is of course Axel Foley and Murphy is expected to reprise his iconic role on a recurring status. The big step of course will be casting Aaron Foley…

Arrested Development's highly anticipated fourth season went into production earlier last month, with Netflix set to premiere the new episodes next spring.

In a recent interview with Vulture, show creator Mitchell Hurwitz offered an update on the revival, which is set to focus on a specific character for each episode. Explained Hurwitz, "It's almost an anthology version of the show with each episode focusing on a particular character and where they've been since the family fell apart six years ago." The creator added that didn't mean you'd only see one Bluth per episode, as some other folks would be popping up in other people's stories as well.

As for the possibility of additional AD content, Hurwitz continued, "Our initial order is for ten [episodes], but the beauty of Netflix is that we theoretically have an opportunity to provide more material for them..."
For years, Hurwitz was trying to get an Arrested Development movie off the ground and he noted that was still what he hoped would happen. "The [new] episodes are an outgrowth of the design of what we hope will be the movie. They precede it. They function as an act one of a movie that we all want to do, but haven't 'sold' yet."

While Netflix originally announced that it would be releasing all ten episodes at once, Hurwitz said that may not necessarily be the case. "I actually think the strategy for release is up in the air," he noted. "I know Netflix at one point was talking about streaming them all at once, because that's how they've done it with other shows, and it's their choice."

Holy ******* ****. I was excited enough when I read there would be ten new episodes of AD and a movie but the prospect of more is ******* great news. I was do devastated when it was canceled. It will be so sweet having the greatest television comedy ever back this coming spring.
